Sonar Platinum - Can't hear notes I add

Problem - In piano roll view, I can hear when I click the keyboard/note names at the side I hear them, but when I add notes, with velocity positive and showing below, I don't hear the notes I've added.
Workaround: The entered notes are likely not where they appear. Try zooming out vertically to see more notes, then you will see where the notes likely are, and the note names will align themselves with the note grid.

This appears to be a bug, and I won't be able to get clear on it until I can re-create it.

Good luck!

Solution: Find the edit filter:
And chose notes.

Good Luck!

SONAR X3 I see the note in piano roll but I don't hear it

Problem: I suddenly stopped hearing a note in the midi clip, though I can see it in the piano roll:
In the image, the silent note, that I can't hear is selected.
I've circled the selected (darker) note, as well as a full overlap, to show it's not the closeness of the other note that's causing it to be silent.

Solution: Stop playback and start again - problem went away!

good luck!

Dell Inspiron 15-5000 series - Can't print screen to clipboard



Problem: I have a button with PrtScr on top and a wireless icon on the bottom, and when I press it with or without the function key, I don't get a copy of the screen in the clipboard.

 Solution: Press the key with the windows key: 


Actually if you press it with the function key, it turns Airplane mode on and off, and it can't be switched with the mouse from the settings page:
 Good luck!

SONAR can't select/edit notes in piano roll

I can see the notes, and hear them, but I can't touch them in the piano roll view. I also get an unlocked lock icon on the midi clip in track view:
Solution: Go into track view. Right click the clip, find the menu item "clip lock" and hover over or select it to get the next level menu, and uncheck "lock data".
The lock was unlocked because the clip was only half locked, now the lock icon will disappear, and the notes can be edited in the piano roll!
